Perhaps resistance really is futile.  At any rate, I, too, have been assimilated.  Along with Spiced Fougère, it will make a two fougère T+S set.  Both are Version 3 base, and it will be interesting to compare the scents.

Baygère
Bergamot (27%) | West Indies Bay (18%) | Tonka Bean (18%) | Lavindin (11%) | Geranium (5%) | Patchouli (5%) | Lavender (4%) | Atlas Cedarwood (4%) | Oakmoss (3%) | Vanilla (2%) | Juniper (1%) | Vetiver (1%) | Myrrh (1%) | 100% natural aromatic extracts from botanicals.

Spiced Fougère
Bergamot (17.5%) | Tonka Bean (12%) | West Indies Bay (12%) | Texas Cedarwood (10%) | Patchouli (10%) | Lavender (8.5%) | Labdanum (8%) | Vanilla (5%) | Frankincense (3.5%) | Myrrh (3%) | Allspice (3%) | Oakmoss (3%) | Geranium (2.5%) | Cardamom (2%) | 100% natural aromatic extracts from botanicals.

My Baygere set showed up today.  Its very nice.  The soap is still quite cold from sitting outside in the mailbox for a few hours but still smells great. 

First shave with Baygere today and I have to say for someone that isn't a big bay rum fan I can get along with this one. The fougere aspect of the scent softens the usual hard edges of the bay. It is another unique scent with a familiar feel

Hey Mark! That made good time. Let that baby warm up and give it a spin. I know you’re a Bay Rum guy so it should hopefully be a winner for you.

I saw your email come in, I’ll reply shortly. Cheers!

Thanks for your support Mike! Let me know which one you prefer. Cheers

️Right on man! I like to hear that. I’m not a lover of big strong bay either, so like Grog, I made sure this one was more accessible to shavers like you and I.

That Baygere is calling my name, and more Spiced Fougere as well.

I'm a big lover of herbal fougeres, so I don't think there's anyway I can go wrong with Baygere.

Spiced Fougere, just keeps getting better with each use. This is fabulous stuff, very much reminds me of Caron 3''eme Homme. Fans of SF looking for a fragrance, give that a look.

I'm very happy that you've made the LE's in sufficient quantity that it doesn't feel like you have to order immediately on release.

I have been wondering where my jars of Baygere and Morocco are, since they shipped on 3/1.  

Well they arrived today, but no thanks to Canada Post's US affiliate.  My wife found the roughly 6" cubed parcel where some lazy SOB left it behind a bush near the garage, about 60 feet from the front door, sitting there for who knows how long.  The brown corrugated parcel was partly covered in snow and otherwise nicely camouflaged in the shrubbery, and she would not have found it had she not had a reason to go behind the bushes.  Since our last snow was yesterday afternoon, following earlier rain, we know the snow covered parcel was there at least that long, and it has been in freezing temps for at least 18 hours, with our low during that period in the teens (fahrenheit).  The corrugated outer package was so soaked through it could be torn apart easily with the fingers, and the contents - both jars and their wrappings - were soaked too (on the outside of the jar; not inside the jar).  The side labeling on both of them has several bumps.  I'm not sure if that will be an issue over time or not and, more importantly, I hope the soap is not damaged by having been left in freezing temps.  And of course, since there is no tracking, the soap may have been out there for days getting thawed and refrozen.  (And even if soap doesn't freeze, that's hardly the typical temperature profile for soap.)

You can no doubt tell from my very annoyed tone that IMO this is completely unacceptable.  T+S is as good as they come, both in performance and service, but I will have to think long and hard before buying another untracked parcel from anyone who used this US affiliate.  There are just too many excellent soaps to put up with this.
